Vegetarian Star

Raw food vegan Jason Mraz has recorded a series of videos helping to promote his Gratitude Cafe tour.

In this clip, Jason introduces us to his assistant who helps prepare some some of the delicious vegan foods Jason eat regularly.

“People have this notion that if it’s healthy, then it must taste bad,” Jason said.

“Not true,” says the assistant.

Hilarity follows when Jason leaves the room and the assistant is seen devouring what looks to be a cheeseburger.

Be sure to watch the clip below to learn where Jason gets his inspiration for songs, including in hotel rooms.

You’ll see an almost NSFW nude Jason!

“Well… not to tell my own environmental credentials… but I don’t know how I could live a more green life. I don’t drive a car, I take public transportation, I am a vegan, I try whenever possible to eat locally organically-grown produce. I live in an apartment building, which is so much more environmentally responsible than living in a house. I try very hard to be as environmentally responsible as possible.”

“But the only way that environmentally responsible actions have any sort of like meaningful impact is the cumulative aspect of it. Me being environmentally responsible means nothing if I am the only one doing it. Me being environmentally responsible is very very meaningful if a hundred million people are doing it. So I will never brag about my environmental credentials, because I am just one person. If I can get a hundred million people to do similar things, then I can say that I have been a good force for change.”

Aerosmith‘s guitarist and vocalist Joe Perry thinks he’s quite the conservationist, according to an interview with Outdoor Living magazine.

Perry was quoted as saying:

“I don’t shoot anything that I don’t eat. Hunters are conservationists and their heads are in the right place. … (Hunting) really gives you a great opportunity to keep in touch with reality.”

Oh, Joe. How out of touch with reality you are!

Granted, hunting your food is less taxing on the environment than raising cattle which wastes precious resources of water and land that could be put to better use growing crops.

But Joe, unless you wear a loincloth (hubba, hubba? eh…maybe not so much), these aren’t the days where man (or a beefy Xena Warrior Princess type woman) chases after the beast before dinner time.

Try hunting down some vital wheat gluten flour at the grocery and whipping up a “taste like meat” seitan dish.

Put the rifle down, Joe.

Keeping the loincloth on is totally optional.

When Johnny Marr and Morrissey were together for The Smiths (something that will probably never happen again unless Morrissey eats his genitals), the media portrayed each of them as opposite stereotypes.

“That all started with the Smiths,” Marr told the Daily Mail. “Morrissey was meant to be all about vegetarianism, celibacy and Virginia Woolf. I was all about football, clothes and a bit of pot-smoking. That’s very reductive. If people bought into that, I don’t blame anyone but myself. If you’re in a successful band, you tend to fall into a role.”

“…I’m not remotely laddish. I’m a grown-up. I’m vegan and teetotal. I run 50 miles a week, listening to Franz Ferdinand and the Four Tops at top volume.”

With all the stories of celebrities falling to drugs recently, it’s great that Johnny is publicly talking about what a clean life he lives.

Who needs drugs when you can have hot sauce on seitan?

Stic.man of the hip hop dual Dead Prez sat down with limitemagazine.com to talk about his music.

But as you know by now, any vegetarian or vegan celebrity has to throw some veggie bits in any interview they give and Stic.man gave a little background information on why he changed his diet and lifestyle habits.

“After seeing the negative effects of the drug game, the poor fast food diets in our lives and also training in martial arts. My wife is a holistic health counselor and author of the book Vegan Soulfood Guide to the Galaxy so I live it all day everyday. My son is 8 and vegan as well.”

Stic’s wife?

None other than Afya Ibomu, who served as Erykah Badu‘s nutritionist and diet counselor during her some of her tours.

Great musical career, good looks, good woman who knows how to cook vegan…

As Rod Stewart sings “Some guys have all the luck.”

This just in from TMZ.

The Shambala Preserve, where Michael Jackson’s old tigers Thriller and Sabu are housed, is close to where the California wildfires are taking place.

However, despite mandatory evacuations, sanctuary officials are not going anywhere.

“We house 64 big cats and it would be a logistical nightmare to bring all these cats down the road and get in the firefighters way of doing their job,” Tippi Hedren, owner of the sanctuary said.

The sanctuary staff plans to stay on the grounds with the tigers and ride the fire out.

What do you think?

Should there have been more emergency plans on part of the sanctuary in case of a situation like this?

Hard to move 64 tigers, but when you have a sanctuary in a place where you know disasters like these happens…kind of like buying ocean front property without flood insurance.

We hope things turn out okay.

County and state fairs are the hub for vegetarian food, right?

Ha!

And Jimmy Dean makes soy sausages.

Unfortunately fairs are often filled with greased bathed, crusted delicacies of beef, pork and chicken, not to mention all the sugar that would give even a non diabetic problems.

Imagine how out of place raw vegan Jason Mraz felt while playing for the Indiana State Fair recently, where there are copious amounts of midwestern farm exhibits (live pigs, cows-which sometimes are placed near beef samples. How rude!) in addition to your standard meat fare.

When a reporter asked him about resisting all the “tempting” foods, Jason answered, “No problem. I think I missed the pig races as well.”

However, we shouldn’t stereotype fairs, as the ISF has plenty of corn on the cob (this is Indiana, remember. Corn is like, the official state vegetable) and last year’s fair had, you guessed it, fried broccoli, onions, and other wholesome veggies.

Have you attend a local fair that surprised you with the amounts of vegetarian or even vegan foods?

Note: The writer of this post has lived in Indiana and attended the state fair once. Hence, the sarcasm. No offense Hoosiers.
